In the shell-shocked, rubble-strewn wasteland of postwar Tokyo during the Allied Occupation, a group of prostitutes band together to form a makeshift guild with the aim of pooling their resources to build a dancehall called Paradise. As their independent existence becomes threatened by gangsters, black marketeers, and would-be pimps, the discovery of an unexploded bomb in their building throws their dreams into jeopardy. Director Hideo Gosha brings a fresh eye to this oft-filmed story by Taijiro Tamura, resulting in a powerful and compelling drama making its home premiere for the very first time outside of Japan courtesy of 88 Films.
